LennanWhen the First Battalion left us And out to Borden went, A second call was issued By the Ontario Regiment. The boys flocked in by thirties and forties; For they knew they had a job; The Second Battalion then was formed Under smiling "Colonel Bob." In Whitby there is "D" Company, And on Monday nights you'll see The boys file in to trail and drill, Under Captain "Duncan B." "Markers, steady," the bugle blows,And in the Company falls-"Order armsand stand at ease,"The Sergeant Major calls.After many nights of trainingUpon the High School ground:The boys embarked from OshawaFor old Niagara town.Bayonet drill, squad drillAnd rifle drilling too;"To the rifle ranges," marchinghome-And after that a stew.Night maneuvres-the gas-house,With every boy content.That was the way of camp life,With the Ontario Regiment.But now that camp is over,We find with many thanksThat we have been convertedFrom infantry to tanks.To Borden next we may be sentAnd with tanks we'll have a job;But we are glad, for we'll still haveOur smiling "Colonel Bob."
